Prediagnosis dietary pattern and survival in patients with multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Inflammation and endogenous growth factors are important in multiple myeloma (MM) pathogenesis. Although diets that modulate these biologic pathways may influence MM patient survival, studies have not examined the association of dietary patterns with MM survival.
